New for Autumn 2008 is the Aurora daylight running lamp (DRL) from Ring Automotive. The Aurora LED lights, are E marked to reg 87, which is specific to daytime running and uses 5 x 1.5 watt ultra bright LED bulbs.

Recently LED style lighting has become popular, due to many vehicles currently on the road having built in LED lights, in particular the ‘Audi Style’ lighting. The new unit is designed for retrofitting to give any vehicle an unmistakable modern look.

While drivers could use their headlamps for daylight running, standard halogen bulbs will increase vehicles' energy consumption. LEDs have negligible energy consumption and compared to halogen bulbs have a superior long service life.

January 2011 will see the coming into force of European legislation, that states all cars manufactured after that date will require E approved daylight running lights. Motorists that fit Ring Automotive Aurora DRLs will have the pioneering technology required for 2011, now.
